Undoubtedly, these beetles were all sent by the evil bug Entik!
help me
Is he begging me for help
Swallow Mary
Why would he reveal his best possible plan to me
This series of questions was deduced by the chip, and soon formed a terrifying conspiracy that made Greem chill to the bone!
That evil bug Entik was probably already under the complete control of Wizard Anderson, so he couldn't help asking for help from his enemy. As for how a quasi-shaman who is completely controlled by a wizard can hide his soul consciousness from the other party, it probably has something to do with his unique insect body!
Although he was lucky enough to retain his self-awareness in Wizard Anderson's plot, he was clearly unable to escape the other party's control, so he obtained Greem's intervention by revealing the other party's plot.
But knowing this, what can Greem do
Could it be that he complained to that wizard Korgan of the Sarubo family about Wizard Anderson's audacity? This may cause Wizard Anderson to be punished to a certain extent, but it is difficult to fundamentally change the controlled situation. If Anderson made it clear that he was willing to give up control, I'm afraid the Sarupo family would be happy to take over a completely controlled family wizard.
And in that way, Mary still can't escape the sad fate!
Beat to kill Anderson? This is an impossible thing!
If the four powerful golems that Greem expected were all produced, and then Wizard Anderson was introduced to some special places, with Mary and Entik, there was still a slight possibility of killing him. But the success rate of such a plan is barely more than 12%, Greem is not willing to take such a big risk!
When mentioning the power of wizards before, I only had a very vague concept in my mind. But after more than half a year of experience, Greem finally had a preliminary outline in his mind.
Let's take Greem's first junior apprentice as an example! Physically, there is almost no difference from ordinary people, the only difference is that they have mastered one or two powerful witchcraft, and the number is very small. If apprentices in this period go out to do missions, they still prefer to hire some mercenaries to defend themselves against damage from mortals, such as crossbow arrows, throwing knives, traps and the like.
Once the advanced level becomes the intermediate level, the power of the wizard apprentice begins to gradually emerge. During this period, either they have already chosen a direction for their own development, or they already have some powerful means, which are beyond the reach of ordinary human beings. Even militias in ordinary towns can hardly provoke such terrorists. But as long as the means are appropriate, the possibility of ordinary people killing intermediate apprentices still exists.
But once advanced to a high level, such an apprentice secular army is already hard to match. Imagine a man with the vitality of a buffalo, the running speed of a cheetah, and the strength of an adult man. Such a character can turn the secular army upside down without resorting to witchcraft. If it is supplemented with powerful witchcraft, it is no problem to destroy an army of one or two hundred people with a backhand.
Of course, if any human noble is willing to pay a huge price. Relying on excellent ordnance and fearless soldiers, and saving the lives of more than 300 soldiers, it is possible to defeat senior apprentices with human lives.
When the wizard apprentice becomes a quasi-sorcerer, sorry, the army of ordinary minor nobles has no effect on him. Even if this quasi-witch is willing to play guerrilla, some small principalities can be dragged down by him. To deal with a quasi-shaman, at least the lives of nearly a thousand elite soldiers can be done. As for whether he can be killed, it still depends on the luck of the battle!
Of course, the strength estimates above are all under the condition that secular power is not assisted by mysterious power. And in the current Wizarding Continent, it is impossible for any principality to survive without the guardianship of the wizarding family. Many human kings, grand dukes and the like are all agents sent by wizard families, or some mortals who are good at managing territories, or some wizard apprentices who have no hope of advancement.
In short, worldly power is always at the disposal of wizards, but never the other way around.
And to deal with a wizard, relying on the power of the world is no longer enough.
The only way to kill a wizard is to kill another wizard!
This famous saying has been deeply engraved in the bones of all mortals. Even those aristocrats who are guarded by wizard families are unwilling to offend even the most humble wizard. After all, the power of a wizard is extremely terrifying!
So after estimating the strength of the enemy and the enemy, Greem gave up the stupid idea of confronting Wizard Anderson head-on early on.
Although wizards are dangerous, wizards are scary, but as long as you find the right way, wizards are still very vulnerable!
Every year, a large number of wizards accidentally die from dangerous witchcraft experiments, and there are also many who go deep into the wild jungle and never return. And more of them fell in the foreign development war of the wizard family.
Sometimes it is a territorial war between wizard families on the same plane, and sometimes it is a colonization and conquest on a different plane within the wizard family. In short, if Greem and the others successfully become wizards, they may inevitably have to participate in bloody wars one after another.
But the idea of waiting for Wizard Anderson to kill himself is also ridiculous. Judging from Wizard Anderson's habit of urinating almost every inch of his life in the swamp tower all year round, it can be seen that he is also a research-oriented wizard, and he is not very good at fighting.
But even so, Greem still didn't want to confront him head-on!
Since you don't want to confront directly, you can only rely on tricks.
So these days, apart from working hard to improve his own strength, Greem has been silently planning for something. It's just that the target of this calculation is a wizard, so Greem can only think from the long-term. Anyway, it will take more than 3 months for Entik to reach the peak of being a witch, so there is still time for Greem to plan his calculations.
...
The residence of the evil bug Entik.
It was already dark and damp like a nest of insects, with white cocoons all over the place. Some have been broken, and larvae covered in yellow mucus are crawling out of them. Some are still intact. When the runes etched on the floor of the witch array light up, they can reflect the dense swarm of insects inside.
In one corner of the room, there was a mutilated bison carcass, with traces of being eaten by ants and insects on it. Black cow blood flowed all over the ground, accompanied by a pungent stench.
The air in the room was extremely dirty, full of acid, blood, and the stench of decay. And Entik seemed to be unaware of it at all, sitting cross-legged on the floor, hunched over and motionless. Although his body didn't move, the gray cloth robe covering his body was faintly wriggling, swelled up from time to time, and then disappeared.
This also indicates that Entik's seemingly calm body is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface.
Since returning from Anderson's blood fusion ceremony, Entik sat there like a dead man most of the time, motionless, like a dead man. But in his body, a bloody war with no gunpowder and no shouts has just come to an end.
The half-worm blood dominated by the phagocytic worm mother and the vampire blood dominated by the bloodthirsty heart used his body as the battlefield every day, fighting for dozens of rounds. Both sides want to devour the other side and turn the other side into nourishment for their growth and growth. Therefore, in the face of this bloody war of "win or lose, lose or die", neither side is willing to compromise and coexist.
If the two different bloodlines were so easy to integrate, then bloodline wizards would have blossomed everywhere. And why do so many wizards hide in the dark and damp towers, doing these horrible experiments with mostly fruitless results
If the potentials of the two bloodlines are not balanced, then it must be the result of one devouring the other. If the potential is balanced, it will inevitably be a lose-lose situation, and the host's body will collapse. In short, if two incompatible things want to coexist and co-prosper, it seems that some kind of key neutralizer is missing in the middle, making it difficult for the blood fusion experiment to achieve the results the wizards want.
If this trend continues, the evil bug Entik will inevitably die.
Originally in his body, the blood of the half-worm had an absolute advantage in the process of fighting the blood of the vampire due to the right time, place and people. But whenever the blood of the vampire is about to be destroyed, that Anderson wizard will recruit him to the secret room on the fifth floor, and inject him with a new blood source.
Relying on this continuous blood injection, the vampire blood was able to infect an important body organ, transforming Entik's heart into a bloodthirsty heart. With the help of Bloodthirsty Heart, the vampire bloodline had the upper hand in the bloodline war for the first time. In vitro, Entik's half-worm body has degenerated, and his skin color has turned dark red.
Entik's head was lowered, and he didn't even move a little when the two bloodlines fought so much that his vitality was greatly damaged and his life became dying. But in the depths of his spiritual sea, above the source of his soul, a more cruel and fierce war is going on.
The consciousness brand formed by the soul blood contract is etched on Entik's soul source, but it is very strange that there are faint cracks around the part of the soul source that carries the soul blood contract, and it is about to be separated from the entire soul source Come.
Hiding most of his consciousness in the corpse-devouring insect mother, and avoiding the consciousness control of wizard Anderson, the evil insect Entik barely maintained his independent consciousness. At this time, he did not dare to let the subject consciousness return to the source of the soul. Once he returns, the fact that he still has an independent consciousness will be sensed by wizard Anderson through the soul blood bond.
So now in his body, what is completely controlled by Wizard Anderson is only his split second consciousness, while his body consciousness is peeping aside, waiting for an opportunity to regain control of his body.
Relying on his own power alone, it was difficult to get rid of Wizard Anderson's control, so he secretly manipulated some scorpions to seek help from that damned enemy. It's a pity that the two consecutive help messages fell like stones and seas, and there was no response at all, so Entik couldn't help becoming anxious.
